MEASURING DISPENSER Application led September 11, 1928. Serial No. 305,251.

The main obj ect of this invention is to proride a measuring dispenserfor such condiments as sugar or the like, and the primary purpose is the construction kwhich will lend itself to a high sanitary standardl and permit its molding and manufacture with facility. Y Y

Another object of the invention is to provide a dispenser which measures and pours a given quantity of granulated sugar at a tilting of the hand. The device is comprised of two members which may be mutually secured to each other and are divisible to permit thorough cleansing of the parts.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.

Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevational view vof the measuring dispenser.

Figure 2 is a top plan View of the dispenser.

Figure 3 is a sectional elevational view of the dispenser measuring unit. f

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the circular wall of the container which holds the sugar'. This wall at its upper encircling edge vis provided with helical threads 11 which are engaged by the threaded rim 12 of a flanged and convex cap 13 which closes the upper end of the con tainer. The lower end of the container has an inverted hemi-spherical bottom 14; unitary therewith and at the position where the bottom merges with the wall 10 helical external threads 15 are formed. On the bottom 14 a nipple 16 is formed which projects downwardly from its outer surface in which a tapering aperture 1'? is provided. Said aperture communicates with the chamber 18 of directly below the tapering laperture 17 when the container is secured on the bowl.l A

curved channel 24 communicating with the" pocket 23 is formed in the bowl of the dis; penser and extends to the upper edgeof the'.`

bowl having located at its upper extremity a delivery spout 25.

The chamber 18 of the container is filled with sugar or similar condiment by removing the cap 13. This filling may be Vdone either with the container separate from or secured to the bowl. The dispenser is made of two units so that the device may be readily manufactured and also for sanitary reasons to enable the user to thoroughly clean the pocket and channel. After the container is filled it is inverted with the nipple 16 upmost and the bowl 2O is secured in place thereon. V

In use the dispenser rests on the base 22. Sugar or other condiment passes from the chamber 18 of the container and spills 1. InV a dispenser, a substantially cylin drical container, adapted to receive a closure cap, a curved bottom on said container having receiving and removably engaging the bottom of saidcontainer, said bowl having a measuring pocket formed beneath said'aperture and ajdischarge channel communicatl an aperture therein, a similarly-curved bowl ing `with the pocket, said channel extending to the upper edge of the bowl, and a delivery spout formed by the termination at its upper extremity of said discharge channel.

2. In a dispenser, a substantially cylin drical container adapted to receive a closure cap, a' substantially hemi-spherical bottom on said container having a tapering aperture at its axis, a similarly-shaped bowl receiv- III ing and removably engaging chev bottom of said container, said bowl having a measuring pocket formed `beneath said aperture and a .discharge channel communicating withl the pocket, said channel'extending to the uppei` edge of the bowl, and a delivery spout foi'med by thelterminatio'n at its upper extremity oi said discharge channel. n

In testimony whereof We aflix our signa tures.` I f z Y HARRY D... LEIINE;n ANDREW RADEEFF.
